The potential application of using toepan padding for the prevention and reduction of lower limb injuries is investigated computationally in this paper. A two-mass lower limb injury model is developed on the basis of impact tests using post-mortem human surrogates. A limiting performance analysis is used to find the best possible physical performance and characteristics of passive and active padding for the minimization of peak tibia force. Computational results indicate that, for the prevention and reduction of lower limb injuries, the active padding is superior to the passive padding.
